Sustainable Livelihoods: Building on the Wealth of the Poor

* Takes a holistic, grassroots approach to poverty eradication
* Draws on experience in Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Ethiopia
* Written in an accessible, journalistic style

This book positions the priorities of the poor at the front of development planning and action, instead of on the back burner of world issues. Through the Participatory Assessment and Planning for Sustainable Livelihoods, or PAPSL, the authors empower the poor to analyze their own circumstances, identify their own priorities, and launch development initiatives.

The authors outline three key elements which the poor must have access to if their homegrown development plans are to come to fruition: science and technology, investments and financial services, and sound governance and policies. Put simply, Sustainable Livelihoods is an informal, yet invaluable handbook for development professionals.
